Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker - LIVE BoxingScene Scorecard

[Boksfan]

Parker fought a good fight but I actually think Joshua played it too safe. Like I said before he didn't throw enough combos. Parker kept leaning into a left hook which Joshua caught him with a couple times. However, I noticed when Joshua threw a right Parker would lean to the left and linger there. But Joshua couldn't capitalize on it by following it up with a left hook. I also thought Joshua looked slow tonight. Parker saw the right hand because Joshua telegraphed it quite a bit. Joshua made Parker's defense look better than it is because he just wasn't as crisp or varied in his offense.

The reason I think Wilder would stop Parker is because he fights well at a distance. (The fight tonight was at a safe distance for Parker). There's no safe distance with Wilder because of his long reach. Parker would have some success because he is skilled. But a I think he gets caught but a long Wilder right hand.

It's a different fight between Joshua and Wilder. I still have Joshua winning but I'm seeing more and more holes in Joshua's game. Tonight wasn't a good night for him but he won and that's always a good thing.

I'd say it was a good night for Joshua, not so much for fans expecting entertainment. The fight was that way partially because referee was clueless and stopped action every time they got close to each other and tried to fight inside. I'd say Joshua looked better inside than Parker tonight and was really pissed off by referee stopping every possible exchange.

AJ proved beyond doubt he can do the 12. And not do it against a bum. AJ proved he can do the 12 against a fellow world hw champion.......well an ex world hw champion now.

Yeah, the ref was awful.

Proves all along how weak this era is. Hughie Fury will be a world champion when he gets older, and Tyson Fury will be unified champion if he comes back half as good as he used to be.

HW boxing ****ing sucks, people only watch it because they have a fetish for big men.

Now we know why Hearn has been protecting AJ from Wilder.

Klit brothers.....Do you miss us yet?

Aaah the Bright Side!

Yep, the easy way out...lol

He looked like shit against a average fighter.

Yep. The only reason people are paying attention to the HW division now is because the UK are rabid when it comes to supporting their own, even if they are an inferior product.

Parker had problems with Ruiz.
Parker had problems with Hughie Fury.
AJ had big problems with 41 year old inactive Klit.
Wilder had problems with old ass Ortiz.

Those are the top 3.........


I think any of these fighters would be lucky to be considered B class fighters during any other era. The only one that had skills was Tyson Fury and he was the one caught using PEDs.

HW boxing sucks big time, it's making Wlad look that much better in retrospect.

Povetkin would test that chin.

I got time for him despite the juice.

Respected him for years. 24 out of 34 Kos now.

He did 12, easy win, no stamina issues. HW belt unified number 3 in his 21st fight. That is some fecking achievement for a guy who is not even at his peak yet!!!!
